So a friend of mine has a 92 240 and while trying to race me on my bike months ago he over rev'ed it and bent a valve, so we pulled it in the shop and tore it down. 5 months later we get it back together. Mods are SR20DET w/springs, Titanium retainers, mild cams, 5 angle VJ, header, T28, FMIC, gay lil boost controller, 3" down pipe and custom exhaust, no cat, fart can (he hates how loud it is), and spec clutch. He and I are equally handy with a m/t just to note.
So after a good break in period we turned the boost up to 15 psi and lined up from a 40 roll, let him count it down and we both nailed it. Side by side through second and into third then at the top of third he started to pull about a half car and when I shifted into fourth he had about a car on me and shut it down at about 100 or so (wasn't really paying attention). All in all he was excited but I think he was a little disappointed he didnt pull more seeing that I have a cam and a bunch of bolt ons sitting in the garage.
So I accept the kill for now but didnt feel too bad because I got beat by something I put together. (He picked out all the parts, I had never touched one of those things before)

Good run... those 240s are fun little cars

Wow, nice race. I ran a 1990 or so SE-R not that long ago with an SR20 and T25 or T28, don't remember. I beat him pretty good when I put it in the right gear, but I remember that it was surprisingly fast and thought it would do pretty good against a stock LS1. Now I know.

Maybe it was a T25, so a bit slower, but it was still quick because they weight NOTHING. I think he said like 2,400 pounds or something crazy like that.

Yea I was surprised at how light they were as well. I must say ever since I showed him a Thread in here of a guy with a 240 like his with a LS1 in it bolt on only running 11's all he can talk about is doing the swap to his.

So are you gonna turbo up that little S2000 or what?

Irunelevens

Naw... this is just a "driver." Eventually it's gonna get a nice set of 17" wheels, some new shocks, POSSIBLY a cold air intake, and a decent stereo. That's about it

what made you decide to buy a s2000, my friend bought one in ada, ok where i live to, i like the driving experience, pushing it 8000 rpm is what draws in the drill of driving it, sweet car.

Probably the best swap ever for the 240sx

Irunelevens

I didn't buy it. I was gonna sell my Mustang and buy a Jeep, but my mom randomly decided that she wanted a new car, and asked if I would rather have her old one. So I got the S2000, she got a Corvette (), and I'm selling the Mustang to recoup her downpayment.

So maybe later she'll decide she doesn't want the Vette, just bide your time...

good race

Irunelevens

That's what I'm counting on... she's already decided that she wants a 911 or a C6 next, so it's just a matter of time

Dude your mom is bad ***....my mom offered me er civic....and would never think about buying a vette. The car she really wants is a yellow bug.....horrible huh. Have fun with the s2000. I'm trying to convince my mom to get one, but I guess not enough room in those cars for my mom's liking.

There's a turbo 240 around here that wants to race me. It's all riced out, wing, fart ca, stickers everywhere, ugly as sin. He claims 350hp, then 375, then he claimed 400+ all to different people. I'm sure it's quick but I don't think it would be as well built as the one the OP raced.
